My friend, don't deny the Waffle. No one does it better, embrace it with all your heart. Your side trips are most entertaining and only serve to enhance the total experience. Sir, don't deny your inner Waffler!!! Keep Calm and Waffle On.
Watching and following, hopefully will eventually find the courage to start going on hikes - such a beautiful and spiritually refreshing activity. And physically healthy, too!
Good job as ever. We never did get to the top of that lane. I thought 'he's gone to get his camera' Loved the corpse stone. Welsh men (The Gogs anyway) correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there a custom up in the coastal north west that the route taken by a cortege established a right of way. Hence in part, the huge number of public footpaths and bridleways in Merionydd, Arfon and Eifionydd. I heard (mining journal) that a miner killed working a level for Copper on Eryri / "Snowdon" was taken in a direct fashion for burial, from somewhere on Clogwyn y Garnedd and consequently created a right of way over the mountain.
Great advice and video as always! In the back country or in town, I try to use route planning. Particularly lately because of all of the construction and "weather" events here in my region.
Some of my best memories are from my early to mid teens, going on walks with my dad, when I'd ask where we were going I'd get, there and back to see how far it is. And it was always walk until we got tired, hungry or thirsty then it was time to head back. Not the greatest planning but it was always fun
once again the info has wedged into the room marked map navigation! this is awesome stuff! im actually learning it! 😁🎉 keep the waffle too! it helps the info stick! (and its just so cool!) tbh the waffle acts like a beacon in my head... think of the waffle to find the info, like a bookmark 😁 btw your vids are ace 😁🎉
That is a nice way to put it all in. It's the same as a canoe route. The destination may be from A to B, but, there's an Island to explore along the way, or, a stream to go check into flowing off shore. There's a wonderful beach to have lunch on, or, a rock to clean the fish you just caught for lunch. It should never be a time-determined rush of a paddle to the next campsite. Flexibility allows for less boredom. The old Explorers who charted North America, for example, had a route plan: travel to see what lies west of here. Along the way, they mapped lakes, rivers, and villages of native peoples. They identified resources, useful features, types of fauna and flora. A route should always include an exploration, and a record. How did Star Trek Voyager put it? 'It's not about the destination; it's about the journey.'
Route planning flexibility has sent me hours in the wrong direction. In Ontario the deep forests all look the same, you take a side trail, round a bend, cross a tributary, and ask now where the hell am I. The main trail could be dead ahead but the direction of North . South, East, or West is confusing in grey colored skies. Identifying features are rare, and assuming ones position can lead to hours of trekking, eventually bumping into the lead trail if your fortunate. Cheers!
Hey another good video! Not sure if it’s of any use but when briefing a route from point to point I teach the phonemic TRECH or ART. Time & distance Relief & going Ease of navigation (back stop, collecting features etc.) Cover & concealment Hazards Aids to navigation (back stop, collecting features etc.) Relief & going Time & distance Hope this is helpful but keep up the good videos 👌👌
Think about the route as a series of areas and regions of interest! 😁😁 There are only 3x2 types of map features anyway. There are points, lines and areas [hence my option3] and then (the x2) there are those that mark real (touchable) features and those that are conceptual [e.g. finding a grid line on the ground, or a painted contour line across hillside]. Keep up the good work. 🧭🧭🧭🗺🗺🗺 🏔⛰🗻🌄

Thank you for your education. So important to share your knowledge.

You may be right - I've not been to "glogy" for years
Great advice and video as always!

La última frase, lo que mejor he entendido del vídeo.
Un abrazo!

Love these videos 👍

Or a sailing route from waypoint to waypoint. Nevertheless. Good information
excellent - thank you

A route could be described as 'the safest and most practical way to get from point A to point B' - ?
I'm not sure about that. Many times people choose their route based on other criteria - I do.
@@TheMapReadingCompany Also taking scenery into account would make a difference; would you want the quick path or the scenic one - ? 😄
👍

One of the reasons we watch is for the waffle.
